A practical guide to the theory and practice of meditation as taught by senior monks of the Ramakrishna Order. The subjects covered include ways to calm the mind, japa, and methods of integrating spiritual ideals into one's daily living.
Discriminate within yourself between the real and the unreal. Have you not read the Vedanta? Even when you sleep, keep the sword of discrimination at the head of your bed, so that covetousness cannot approach you even in dream. Practicing such strength, renunciation will gradually come, and then you will see the portals of heaven are wide open to you.
-Swami Vivekananda
